Head to head

UK landlord software, compared tool by tool

The question behind every one of these pages is the same: how much of the let do you want one tool to run? LetCompliance runs all of it, from the advert and the referencing through rent, arrears, repairs and paperwork to the tax return. The tools below each lead on one part of that, and every comparison says where they are the better buy.

The landscape

Six kinds of tool, and what each one is for

Start from the job you need done rather than the feature count. Most comparisons come down to whether you want one system for the whole let or a specialist for one part of it.

All-in-one landlord software

Broadest
LetCompliance

The whole let in one login: advertise and reference, sign the tenancy, collect the rent, chase arrears, run repairs and certificates, serve notices and prepare SA105 and MTD.

Accounting-first

HammockXeroLandlord VisionFreeAgent

Bookkeeping, Open Banking reconciliation and MTD ITSA filing.

Letting agent and PM suites

GoodlordArthurReapit

Agency scale, pre-tenancy onboarding and maintenance depth.

HMO software

Room-level occupancy, housemate fit and shared bill splits.

Sourcing and finance

PaTMaLendlord

Deal analysis, refurbishment costs and mortgage planning.

Marketplace

OpenRent

Listing on Rightmove and Zoopla, and finding a tenant.

The honest exceptions are on every page: LetCompliance does not do Open Banking bank-feed reconciliation, and its Making Tax Digital filing, recognised by HMRC, covers UK property income only. If either is the thing you are buying, an accounting-first tool is the better answer and the comparisons say so.

FAQs

How to read these comparisons

Written by us, about us, which is exactly why every page has to say where the other tool wins.

How does LetCompliance compare to other UK landlord software?

LetCompliance is the broadest all-in-one landlord software on this page: it runs advertising, applications, referencing, e-sign, rent collection, arrears, a 0-100 compliance score, Section 8 / 13 notices and SA105 tax in one login. The specialist tools each do one slice well: accounting (Hammock, Xero, Landlord Vision), pre-tenancy (Goodlord), HMO operations (COHO) or full-scale agency management (Arthur). Each comparison below shows, tool by tool, where LetCompliance wins and where the specialist is the better fit.

Are these comparisons biased towards LetCompliance?

They are written by LetCompliance, which says so plainly. What each page says about the other tool comes from that tool’s own website, with the date it was read, and a feature nobody has checked is not marked as missing: it is listed as a LetCompliance feature, with no claim about the other tool. Every comparison names the cases where the other tool is the better choice, and the one thing LetCompliance does not do (Open Banking bank-feed reconciliation). Prices and features change, so check the provider’s own site before you buy.

What is the best all-in-one property management software for UK landlords?

For a UK landlord who wants the whole tenancy in one place, from lettings and rent through to compliance, legal notices and tax, LetCompliance is the most complete single tool. If you only need one slice (just accounting, just HMO operations, or just pre-tenancy), a specialist can be leaner. Our editorial round-ups rank each category.

Which UK landlord software is cheapest?

The cheapest options are a spreadsheet, free tiers such as Landlord Studio GO, and OpenRent for listing only. LetCompliance is £7.99 a month for one property, with the tenancy, rent collection, notices and tax included, and one property can also stay on the free plan. The cheapest tool on paper is rarely the cheapest once you add the pieces it does not cover, and each comparison spells out that trade-off.

How often are these comparisons updated?

Each comparison shows the date its column for the other tool was last read from that tool’s own website, and the pages are re-checked whenever a major law changes, for example the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 or Making Tax Digital for Income Tax from April 2026. Providers change pricing without telling anyone, so confirm the current price on the provider’s own site before you buy.

Built by a landlord, for landlords.

I let property myself, so I know what it costs to juggle an agent, a spreadsheet and a handful of reminder apps just to run a let. LetCompliance puts all of it behind one login: advertise the property, take applications, collect the rent by Direct Debit, run the repairs and send the tax updates to HMRC, with every certificate and notice kept in order, each taken straight from GOV.UK.
